The Simsbury Travel Basketball Club provides an organized youth basketball program for Simsbury residents in grades 5 through 8. Teams compete against teams from towns in the Hartford, CT area with most games scheduled for Saturdays and Sundays. Teams are formed in the fall based on tryouts. Practice usually begins in November. Games usually begin in December and continue into late February or early March.
Our Philosophy
- To teach players the basic skills of basketball
- To build confidence in each player and to bring out there individual talent for the game
- To teach sportsmanship and fair play through a team sport
- To provide an opportunity for each player to participate and have fun
- To enforce team concepts and to enhance knowledge of the sport
- To teach the player the responsibility of each team member to try their best and to encourage their teammates to do the same
- To prepare the player for a higher level of competition and commitment should they continue to play the sport at the high school level
